Romeo+Juliet=Confusing

Is it just me or do you think Romeo and Juliet is get more confusing by the minute. I get it when I read it along side no fear Shakespeare. If I don't do that I end up thinking the complete opposite of what they are really saying some parts I get, but they throw in so many extra word that confuse me. I like they "play" so far ,but it is so
< to me.









Talk Later, I guess.

Picture Poem!

As you know we had to write a poem from a picture. Well that morning I was running a little late and forgot to get my original picture off the table. When I got to class I remembered, but it was too late. Luckily Ms. James told us if we forgot our picture we could use one that was on our phone so that's what I had to do. I picked a picture of me holding up one of my biggest fish because it was my background and it was special to me. It took me a while to write it all but I did it. I don't like poetry, but I noticed all lot of people like "beefy manwich" wrote almost 2 full pages. So it all worked out in the end.

Later

P.S. here is the picture, sorry had to cut out my face for privacy reasons.

My Sister's Keeper

The book that I'm reading right now is My Sister's Keeper. So far it is really good. It is about a girl Anna who her parents decided to have after her sister Kate got leukemia. Anna and Kate are genetic matches because Anna was specially "made" by scientists so she could donate things to her older sister. This book is very controversial and also very interesting to read. I would recommend it to everyone.

~When you click on the picture you are taken to a site which has the first few pages of the book actually right under where the picture is. Read this part, and trust me, you will want to read the rest of the book.

Talking to Plants

In Act 2, Scene 3, the friar is talking to his plants saying how they can be so wonderful but so poisonous at the same time.
"For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part;
Being tasted, stays all senses with the heart." He's saying that if you smell some particulare kind of plant, it brings you pleasure, but if you eat it, then you'll die. There is no solid evidence that says that talking to plants benefits them. However, there is some truth to that because when you talk to a plant, you breathe on it, and plants need carbon dioxide to live.

Back in the day (1848), a German professor suggested in his book that plants were capable of feeling emotions, just like humans, and that you could promote healthy growth by showering your plant with attention. Another botanist guy said that plants may not be able to understand the spoken word, but they were capable of telepathically understanding the meaning of speech.

I thought this stuff was kinda weird, but it was still interesting. I just try to stay away from having my own house plants, because they generally end up dying. I guess I don't give them enough attention...lol.

THIS BOOK IS SO CONFUSING:(

I'm reading the Uglies and it's realy confusing me:(. I like it, but it's still a weird book. It's a really futuristic book with 'hoverboards' and what not. After this book is the Pretties which I heard isn't as good as the Uglies, which I don't even know if I like, so I may not read it. I'm kind of more excited to get back to the Gossip Girls series:).



I'm not sure if I like this new poetry unit:/. I'm not good at writing poetry or anything like that, and I don't really enjoy writing it! I like reading poetry, a lot. Just not writing it. This picture poem has been SO difficult for me! I guess I didn't pick the most interesting picture to write about, but it is a picture I like alot.

That's all for now, BYE!

missy higgins

I dont know if any of you have heard of a singer called Missy Higgins, but she's pretty amazing. I change favorite singer/band about every week but for like the past 2 weeks she's been my favorite singer. My favorite song from her is They weren't there. It's more slow and sad music but its grrrrreat. so if you like that kind of music you should give her a listen. :)

this weekend

so this weekend was mostly pretty boring so i saw alot of movies. 3 of the movies that i saw i've never seen before. they were disturbia, persuit of happiness, and the hills have eyes. i think my favorite was either the persuit of happiness or disturbia. The persuit of happiness was really sad and happy and disturbia was pretty scary and intense. anyway, today was fun though because i went to silver dollar city. :) hope all of you guys had a greatttt weekend.
